I Have a Question *chuckles* Posted: 09-22-03 18:12pm
I don't remember the last time I had my
period, so I can't give the doc that
information when I go see her. How will
they figure out how far along I am
approximatly? Just by blood test, can do
that?

No they kinda need that, or I belive they
can measure. But you should try to
remember roughly! Good luck! Let us know
how it goes! Are you getting a doc for
free or no?
Ah, I don't even look at it that way! Lol
they can estimate it when you have a u/s.
Only 4% of babies are born on their edd,
lord knows chey won't be! She was due on
november 1st then october 29th and now
october 15th! Lol they will probably
change the date on ya depending on how
fast the baby is growing!!
Good luck and best wishes

Lol, I never ever kept track of my period.
I don't remember the last time...I think
it was august 20th, and I was expecting it
the 4th of september, but it never came.

I know that ova here they can find out by
giving u an internal examination as ur
organs change when u become pregnant

When I went into the doctor when I first
found out that I was pregnant, I didn't
know far along I was either. I couldn't
remember the exact date of when my last
period was. So all they did was an
internal ultrasound. It's a rod that has
a camera at the end. They insert it into
the vagina and it show a picture on the
screen of the tiny baby. From there, they
measure the whole length of the (what
looks like a blob) baby, and from there,
the screen shows what the due date is. I
was five weeks then and at nine weeks she
gave me another vaginal ultrasound,
because she said at nine weeks, that it
would show the most accurate due date,
even from your 20 week ultrasound.
Anyways, a normal ultrasound won't show
the baby accurately at this stage in a
pregnancy. However, I would suggest that
if you are going to continue having sex,
that you might want to keep a calender of
some sort to jot down when your periods
start and end, that way you will know when
to be expecting your period next.
